We have had 2 "regular"units for about 4 years and bought this while visiting grandparents so kids could access all our content. Only issue is that setup can only be done with included remote. We'd like to travel without remote but can't when connecting to new wifi networks.
What a wonderful device that allows me to pick and choose what I want to watch. I recently had surgery and just couldn't imagine without it. Keeps me entertained when I want it and what I want. Can't beat that!
Doesn't have an "off" button so not certain if I'm disconnected or not when I quit. Also, the stick quits working repeatedly and have re-install batteries to continue. Changed batteries, no help.
Believe it or not with all the channels on Satellite TV there is still nothing on television; I started searching for alternatives and my researched showed ROKU having the best reviews. Easy set-up, various channel choices, yet there are costs which could easily add up to a full cable/satellite bill, if you are not careful. Overall, still a good addition to anyone's home entertainment.
This is my second Roku device. I upgraded to a stick. Works well although I often need to pop the batteries in and out in order to get a response from the stick. I do this often enough that it is annoying.
I got the stick a few weeks ago and love it. I already had a netflix account and use only it so far. I am looking forward to upgrading the services soon and then I will be able to give a better review. thank you to Roku for the great job with this gadget.
